In the stomach of q stag, which was
shot in the Duke of Portland's forest
at Langwell, Caithness-shire, there
were found when "gralloched" the
brass ends Of thirteen cartridges.
That the deer did not swallow them
loaded is q matter Of certainty. Most
likely he picked them up one by one
on some part Of the grouse-ground,
chowed of the papier-mache and
then swallowed the cases or percus-
ssion-cap portions Cows frequently
swallow them in pasture lands, whore
they have been thrown down BY sports
men, and fatal results have sometimes
.ensued. It is possible that a cows
digestive organs may be weaker than
those Of i stag; and 50 gentlemen out
after partrid ges, when they have oc-
,casion to discharge their guns where
livestock OF any kind is grazing,
might do. we'll, to retain the empty
shells till they come to the nearest

THE PATENT RECORDS.

"A
/. ing by Studying Their Pages.
While wandering about the alcoves
of the Patent Office Library the other
day my attention was called taa dap
per little man whose quick de was
running over the index, of the musty
volumes of scientific and philosophical
doings of some English societies. 49,.
THAT man is a terror to patentees
and patent owners said the assistant
librarian at my elbow. '.He is black
mailer who has ruined the reputation
of many seemingly respectable and
valuable patent IN his day. That little
piece of paper in his hand with
a sketch and q few reference figures
upon it is worth many hundred dollars
to him, for its publication means fnan-
cial ruin to one or more corporations
engaged in manufacturing under some.
patent You see, a patent is granted
for something that is supposed to
be new. An examination is made in
the Office to, determine this point be,
fore the patent is issued. But on ac-
count of the smallness of the force
there isn't time to make 8 thorough
search always through the vast mass
Of literature on every subject.
So it often happens that a man
is given q patent as the true
and original inventor of something
thai some old philosopher hit upon
wears ago. Our friend, the black
mailer, keeps himself informed on all
the patented industries of the country,
and spends his time delving among our
old books and the periodicals pub
lished in half dozen ferent
languages. He takes notes Of every
thing Of Importance that he finds
theree Some day he will stumble.
across paper contributed to 3 Royal
Society Of Bigwigs BY some learned
old chap with whole alphabet of
titles tackled on to his name. It de-
scribes some laboratory experiments.
that were pursued as interesting and
dropped as Of no practical value. But
that abstruse little paper discloses to,
the world the discovery of some proc
ess or method in the arts afterward re-
discovered and patented bv others.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars have
I been invested in these patents which
would be worthless if the courts knew
what our blacknailer has stumbled
upon. OF course there is legitimate
& side to the business also. Wise capi
taksts who are abopt to invest in
! patents pay large sums for just such
searches as these, and will not buy un-
less the report is entirely satisfactory.
